#pragma section( "section-name" [, attributes] )
Creates a section in an .obj file. Once a section is defined, it remains valid for the remainder of the compilation. However, you must use __declspec(allocate) or nothing will be placed in the section.
section-name is a required parameter that will be the name of the section. The name must not conflict with any standard section names. See /SECTION for a list of names you should not use when creating a section.
attributes is an optional parameter consisting of one or more comma-separated attributes that you want to assign to the section. Possible attributes are:
If you do not specify attributes, the section will have read and write attributes.
In the following example, the first instruction identifies the section and its attributes. The integer j
is not put into mysec
because it was not declared with __declspec(allocate)
; j
goes into the data section. The integer i
does go into mysec
as a result of its __declspec(allocate)
storage-class attribute.
#pragma section("mysec",read,write) int j = 0; __declspec(allocate("mysec")) int i; int i = 1;
